GameTrailers Countdown: Top 10 3DS games

kid-icarus-uprising-20111213014757751.jpg
 
My list probably wouldn't have Bravely Default, Pokemon would be lower, Animal Crossing probably wouldn't make the list, but it would add Kid Icarus and Theatrhythm.
 
Get rid of Bravely Default or at least drop it down a lot, and replace it with Kid Icarus. and Luigi's Mansion is great but not better than the two Mario's.
 
The 3ds has not been out long enough to justify any list. Also, I have 9 out 10 of those games.
 
I expected a lot worse, just remove Animal Crossing for me. Really nice to see Atlus take the top two spots, even if most Nintendo fans would disagree with a 3rd party doing so.

Edit: Wait, I read it backwards. :\ I wouldn't put Bravely Default above the Atlus RPGs at all.
 
I strongly disagree that Kid Icarus: Uprising should be #1, because it's a very repetetive game and more like an 8/10 thing IMO, but it does have amazing production values and really show off what the 3DS can do technically speaking.

I was only disappointed that the didn't put OoT3D on it, and that they didn't wait until PLvsPWAA was out in NA, because I've played that and while it isn't AS good, I'd argue it's in league with Ghost Trick!
 
Well my favourite non-remake/re-release/port on 3DS is Shin Megami Tensei IV because it's friggin' insane and brilliant! So at least seeing it on the list is nice, but damn, only 10th place!? Damn opinions!

EDIT: Just want to also say that I'm glad to see Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan on there, excellent game! Also glad to see Bravely Default and Fire Emblem: Awakening.
 
Outside of the interesting battle and network mechanics, I find the pacing of the game and the story to be pretty abysmal.

I thought it was great until you reach chapter 5. The story was simple, but it felt like it had heart. I didn't mind the plot twist as a plot twist, but it punishes the player for existing.

You mean the bottom two spots? You're reading the list backwards.
 
Don't agree with Bravely Default being on the list at all. List is lacking Kid Icarus too.

Top 3 is very solid though.

You think Kid Icarus is repetitive? Have you played Luigi's Mansion?
 
Really good list, not much to complain abo.... wait no Kid Icarus? That game should be top 5, heck it can kick off overrated garbage Bravely Default from #4.
 
Kid Icarus is one of the greatest games and utilizes most of what the 3DS is all about. I know they ran out of slots but c'mon now. Is EO4 really that much of an improvement over 3? I own and love it so far, but I think I would drop that or SMT4 or Bravely for Kid Icarus. Tough to make a 3DS top ten
 
My top ten would definitely include Pushmo, Attack of the Friday Monsters, and Cave Story. Maybe Crimson Shroud too.
